Shocking the World: Starting from Rural Teachers

Chapter 232 The Bai Family's Heirloom

On Saturday, Xue Qiang and Bai Cui slept late and didn't get up until ten o'clock.

After dawdling in washing and eating something, I drove to Taoshu Village.

When passing through Taoyuan Town, the demolition work here has already started.

Hei Liuzi was wearing a hard hat and was commanding in a serious manner. When he saw Xue Qiang's car, he trotted over.

"Teacher Xue! You are here!"

Hei Liuzi grinned and moved to the car window.

"The demolition started so soon." Xue Qiang asked.

"Yeah, we have to catch up with the construction period. It is said that it will be put into operation next year. It is also a prestige project in the city."

Hei Liuzi said: "Mr. Xue has done me such a favor. I don't even know how to thank Mr. Xue."

"It's nothing, just a little effort."

Xue Qiang said: "Be careful when you are working, if there is someone who has not moved away, it will be dangerous."

"Don't worry, Mr. Xue, the whole town has moved out."

Hei Liuzi said: "Before demolishing each house, I asked Gangzi to go in and check it carefully several times to make sure everything is safe."

"That's fine, you too, be careful!"

Xue Qiang instructed casually.

"Don't worry, Teacher Xue!"

Hei Liuzi said: "Now the main road in the town is not easy to go, Mr. Xue, you have to make a detour to Taoshu Village."

"Okay, I see."

Xue Qiang drove around Taoyuan Town and entered Taoshu Village.

At this time, Taoshu Village was very busy, and every household was packing up their things.

Generations of people have lived here for generations, and they usually don't see anything, but they can pack up a lot of things once they are cleaned up.

There are also a few antique collectors who come here especially, and walk around the streets to see if they can receive some good things.

"Father, mother, we are back!"

Xue Qiang parked the car at the gate of the Bai family compound, and Bai Cui yelled as soon as he walked in.

"Huh? Xiaocui?"

At this time, a woman with a pimple face who was sitting in the yard eating sunflower seeds saw Bai Cui and shouted in shock.

"Cousin? Why are you here?"

Bai Cui saw that this was Gong Shuling.

It's really shameless to a certain extent, not to mention harming Bai Cui, but still has the face to run to Bai Cui's house to hide.

"Ha, Xiaocui, I knew they would let you go if they found out that you were not me!" Gong Shuling said shamelessly.

"What is not you, what is released?"

Xue Qiang, who came in with Bai Cui, asked aloud.

"Ah, nothing, nothing."

Bai Cui quickly changed the conversation, and asked again: "Where are my father and mother?"

"Uncle and aunt are packing things inside."

Gong Shuling ate melon seeds and said.

Bai Cui walked into the room to look for Hu Erfeng, Xue Qiang held back his nausea and gave Gong Shuling a look.

Two old people were working inside, but she was sitting leisurely in the yard eating melon seeds.

"Xiao Qiang is here!"

Hu Erfeng came out to greet him at this moment.

"Mom, what do you think I can help with?" Xue Qiang asked.

"It's nothing, your father and I have almost cleaned up."

Hu Erfeng said: "You sit and drink tea."

"Then can I sit still?"

Xue Qiang took off his coat and threw it aside, saying, "I'd better do something."

Then he went into the back room to help.

"Cut, what are you pretending to do? People say you won't be allowed to work, but you have to go, to show you?"

Gong Shuling spat out a mouthful of melon seeds, and said harsh sarcastic remarks.

Inside the house, the young couple is helping the old couple with their lives.

"Xiaoqiang, come here!"

The Bai family yelled in the warehouse first.

"coming!"

Xue Qiang walked into the warehouse, and the Bai family was looking up at the beam.

"There's a small black box on the beam, take it off for me." The Bai family said first.

"Ok."

Xue Qiang looked up, took two steps back, took three steps to run up, jumped up high, and turned over with one hand on the beam.

It stirred up the thick dust on the beams, which almost dazzled Xue Qiang's eyes.

"Little black box."

Xue Qiang searched along the beam for a while, and found the black box at the corner of the joint, picked up the box and jumped off the beam easily.

"Father, it's this box."

Xue Qiang handed the box to Bai Jiaxian.

"Yes, yes, this is the box."

The Bai family took the box first, wiped off the dust with their hands, and was still a little emotional.

"Don't use the useless things in this warehouse."

Xue Qiang looked around and saw some farm tools and broken furniture, bottles and jars.

As for those bottles and jars, they were all made in modern times at a glance, and some of them looked like antiques, but they were all dilapidated, and even if they were real, they were worthless.

"That's right, you won't need it after you move into the city."

The Bai family said first, "come out with me."

The two walked out of the barn and sat down in the bright front hall. The Bai family put the box on the table first.

It was too dark inside the warehouse, and Xue Qiang didn't quite see what the box looked like, so he could only tell it was a wooden box from the touch.

At this time, with the help of the bright sunlight, I can also see clearly that the texture looks like ebony, and the style is simple and simple.

Because it is protected by a layer of shellac, this wooden box is not too severely weathered and worn.

"Father, is this?" Xue Qiang asked.

"This is from our Bai family, a family heirloom."

The Bai family said slowly, picked up a cigarette from the table and lit it.

"family heirloom?"

Gong Shuling, who was cracking melon seeds in the yard, had pointed ears, threw the melon seeds in her hand, and ran in quickly.

"Uncle, why didn't I know that our family still has a family heirloom?"

Gong Shuling looked at the quaint box with unconcealable greed in her eyes.

"What does it have to do with you?"

Xue Qiang said coldly.

"Why does it have nothing to do with me? This is from my uncle's house, so of course it has something to do with me!"

Gong Shuling gave Xue Qiang a blank look, leaned over and sat down, and reached out to open the box: "Come and let me see what's so amazing inside."

"Did it make you move?"

Xue Qiang slapped Gong Shuling's hand unceremoniously.

"Ow!"

Gong Shuling let out a scream like killing a pig, jumped up and covered her hands, looked at Xue Qiang and cursed: "You are sick when riding a horse, why beat me!"

"I owe you a debt."

Xue Qiang said coldly: "The old man hasn't spoken yet, is it your fault that you touched this thing?"

"Neuropathy!"

Gong Shuling muttered and scolded: "Uncle didn't say he wouldn't let me touch it!"

"Okay, stop arguing."

Holding the cigarette in one hand and the wooden box in the other hand, the Bai family turned to Xue Qiang and said, "Xiao Cui is my only daughter, so this family heirloom is naturally for you."

"Why!"

Gong Shuling immediately became anxious when she heard this, and objected: "Since this is a family heirloom of the Bai family, then my mother should have a share, so why give it all to Xiaocui!"

"When your mother got married, she had already given up on this thing."

The Bai family said first: "At that time, your grandfather was still alive and opposed your mother marrying your father. After a big fight between your mother and your grandfather, your mother severed relations with the Bai family."

"Anyway, grandpa is dead, who knows if what you said is true or not."

Gong Shuling refused to let go, and shouted at the top of her voice: "Anyway, the family heirloom of the Bai family must be mine!"
